"Music is one way children learn to express...humanity. Because if we are not teaching our children to be human, what are we teaching them?" from "The Music Lesson" by Tammy Ryan

A student loaned me a copy of this play. The author was at a camp the student went to this summer for writing. The play was good. The quote is true.
